This homeowner contacted Northland Basement Systems because she was tired of dealing with a cold wet basement. In order to reclaim her basement space our team installed Waterguard around the perimeter of her basement and a Super Sump to keep her whole basement dry. Our team also insulated the cold damp basement walls with Foamax insulation and insulated the rim joist with SilverGlo insulation. We topped the dry insulated basement off with one of our brand new Sanidry Sedona basement air machines to prevent mold and reduce odors.
ThermalDry® is a modular tile option that elevates flooring on top of plastic pegs, creating a thermal break between your cold basement floor and your family's feet! In other words, ThermalDry® Floor Tiles make your basement floor surface 8 - 10 degrees (F) warmer than cold concrete! Not only are they warmer to the toes, the specially crafted tiles allow air the circulate underneath, facilitating the drying of trapped vapors and moisture. A vapor barrier and good air circulation are crucial components to long-lasting beauty and value for your basement refinishing project. While no one plans for their basement to get wet, ThermalDry® tiles are designed to hold up to flooding conditions, whether from groundwater flooding or a plumbing failure.
EverLast™ basement wall panels are engineered to never get moldy or rot. They cannot be damaged by moisture and won't support mold or mildew growth. EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels are NOT like drywall. Drywall with fiberglass insulation supports mold growth, will damage from moisture, and will lose insulation value when wet. EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels are a 1/2" cement board with a two tone vinyl surface that is much stronger than drywall and never needs repainting. Along with the superior strength and resistance to mold and rot, the everlast panels install much quicker without the need for mudding, sanding, priming or painting.
ZenWall makes your basement walls look "almost finished" for a fraction of the cost of finishing your basement. Your basement will be dry, warmer, cleaner, and brighter. Made entirely of inorganic materials that will not rot or support mold growth. Used with a perimeter basement waterproofing system to waterproof a basement wall, and stop water vapor from coming through the wall into the basement air.
